Hair Loss Treatments in Glasgow

If you are concerned about hair loss and live in Glasgow, Edinburgh, or anywhere in Scotland, contact Dr Bonaros, who specialises in the diagnosis, management and treatment of hair loss. Our Glasgow clinic offers the latest techniques in hair restoration surgery and medical treatments that can help permanently restore thinning hair.

Based in Glasgow, Dr Bonaros is proud to deliver hair loss treatments to men and women who may be suffering from male and female pattern baldness.

Hair loss is a medical condition with several causes, including genetics. Although androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss among both men and women, it is by no means the only one. Some of the most important non-AGA causes of hair loss are alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, telogen effluvium and triangular alopecia, trichotillomania and scalp infections. These conditions may not be recognized until they are diagnosed by a physician hair restoration specialist.

The success of a hair loss treatment is dependent upon the correct diagnosis.

Every patient is unique, and selecting the most appropriate and effective type of hair restoration treatment for you will depend on many factors, including the type and stage of your hair loss, your age, lifestyle, goals and general health.
There are many treatments for hair loss which can slow the process, but there isn’t one cure or treatment that works for everyone. Dr Bonaros will explore your particular circumstances and then discuss the options available to you, providing realistic advice about the results you can expect from each type of treatment.
For patients in the early stages of hair loss, non-surgical treatments such as medication may be good options to minimise and even reverse hair thinning. Any topical product or oral medication may cause side effects or interactions. Please consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any concerns about side effects or want to know if you can take a hair loss medication with other drugs.

Combining surgical treatment and medical therapy will provide long-lasting hair restoration results for patients with more advanced hair loss.

FUE Hair Transplant - Direct Hair Implantation

Our hair loss clinic in Glasgow provides some of the best and most advanced techniques for hair restoration surgery for men and women.
Follicular Unit Excision – FUE – is the latest innovation in surgical treatments and involves harvesting individual follicular grafts one by one. The FUE procedure is safe, minimally invasive and leaves no linear scarring. Direct hair implantation (DHI) involves using a sharp hair implanter pen, which is our standard implantation technique. The hair follicles are implanted fast and efficiently, without the risk of repetitive placement trauma.

Finasteride

Finasteride -Propecia- is approved for the treatment of male pattern baldness. It promotes scalp hair growth and prevents further hair loss in many men who use it. Finasteride comes as tablets, and it’s available on prescription only. It is perhaps the most extensively studied medication for male pattern baldness. This article discusses the use, dosage, mechanism of action and side effects of finasteride.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil is an over-the-counter, topical medication, available in many different strengths and liquid and foam forms. Minoxidil is a drug that can help men and women who lose hair to regrow it. But it does not work for everyone. Minoxidil is commonly sold under the brand name Regaine/Rogaine, although other popular generic minoxidil brands are just as effective. It may take up to six months until you see results, and it needs to be continued indefinitely to maintain its positive effects. Minoxidil only works for as long as it is used.

Beard Restoration – Beard Hair Transplant

A beard transplant is a safe cosmetic procedure that can effectively treat an absent, thin or patchy beard.
Beard transplants are a subcategory of facial hair transplantation. Based on the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) statistics, facial implants (beard and moustache) increased by 121% worldwide from 2014 to 2019.
The basic principles of hair transplantation are the same. During a beard transplant procedure, healthy hair is harvested similarly to a routine hair transplant and then implanted, one follicle at a time, at the right angle to give the highest density and most natural-looking results. Dr Bonaros is a beard hair transplant expert who can help you grow a healthy-looking, fuller beard.
